  <blurb>There&amp;#39;s a whole lot of printing going on right now. Flyers, door hangers and yard signs cost money. Money that could pay for more staff, more phone banking, and more GOTV come the primary. Cegelis herself and scores of volunteers are out in the community every day knocking on doors and meeting their neighbors. Let&amp;#39;s put something in their hands to give them.

I&amp;#39;m guessing between yard signs, flyers and door hangers the printing bill for the campaign is going to be around $8,000. That&amp;#39;s not much for a few hundred small donors. Please donate $20, $50, $250, or whatever you can afford to the cause.



&lt;i&gt;A long-time resident of Rolling Meadows, Christine Cegelis lives and works in Illinois&#8217; 6th Congressional District. She holds a degree in International Relations and Public Administration, and is a sucessful small-business owner, IT consultant, and a single mother of two college-age sons.  In 2004, she earned an unprecedented 44.2% of the vote against 30-year Republican incumbent Rep. Henry Hyde. Christine Cegelis enters the 2006 race for Congress as the candidate with momentum and has been traveling the district for the last two years listening to the issues and concerns of local residents.&lt;/i&gt;

&amp;quot;When you have a person like Christine asking where will the jobs of our future come from, someone who had to struggle, who&#8217;s worked, who knows what is means to make a budget work, knows what it&amp;#39;s like to raise kids, start a business, you know she understands the issues. This is the type of person we need in Congress.&amp;quot;
&lt;b&gt;Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-OH)&lt;/b&gt;</blurb>
